1. Get more sleep.
Yes, it's a cliché, and yes, it's one of the best things you can do NOW to feel better. Thousands of studies have proven the physical-emotional-mental damage caused by lack of sleep. More lack of concentration, irritability, lack of clarity. 7-8 hours of sleep makes you feel refreshed, focused and in a good mood. You improve productivity. You keep burnout at bay.
2. "No".
NO" is the new favourite word. Setting limits and reducing overload is a KEY and necessary step. Ask yourself the question, why am I on the road to burnout? One of the most common reasons is that we have a bigger work and emotional load than we can handle, and to keep saying "yes" to more things will only increase the discomfort and push the solution further away.
3. Start with the most difficult tasks first.
Why is this? During the day, both our focus and our mental and emotional energy diminish as time goes by. If you start with the hardest thing, you will be in a better condition to finish it than if you leave it to the end. Plus, the rest of the day you'll feel relieved because you "got it out of the way", rather than tense because you're stuck with it.
Three simple, but VERY effective things. Enough to start them tomorrow.
